Fashion trend It is the season of the bow
As the Christmas season approaches, some trends become louder. The bow detail has taken a starring role all through the year but shot once again into prominence on the fall runways. Spelling nostalgia and old-world charm, the bow is an embellishment that echoes whimsy.
Designers have used the bow in versatile forms. From bow prints to tiny, multiple bows on blouses, the bow has also taken prominence as the big detail. Sculptural bows on long gowns, oversize bows on blouses and bow-patterned corsets all echo elegance and vintage vibes.
Mikey Madison made heads turn in a Dior gown with a bow detail, perfection in pink and black. Cynthia Erivo carried a Louis Vuitton velvet gown with a dramatic bow detail.
Autumn runways too saw a profusion of bows, from lace-up bows at Simone Rocha, contrast bows at Givenchy and bow motifs at Valentino. Chanel placed them everywhere. Armani, on the other hand, celebrated the trend with structured bow details.
Bridal style is incorporating this trend, often as a statement bow tied at the back or accenting the waist, and even as a structural detail. They add personality to a wedding dress. They work across a variety of bridal styles, from tiny ties on minimalist designs to detachable bows on dramatic ones. Bows are also going on veils and shoes.
